No, the only thing you missed was that I did not write it to make it fast, but just to make it work ;-). The commit walker simply does not work against a dumb http server repository that is packed and prune-packed, which is already the case for both kernel and git repositories. The thing is, the base pack for the git repository is 1.8MB currently containing 4500+ objects, while we accumulated 600+ unpacked objects since then which is about ~5MB. The commit walker needs to fetched the latter one by one in the old way. When packed incrementally on top of the base pack, these 600+ unpacked objects compress down to something like 400KB, and I was hoping we could wait until we accumulate enough to produce an incremental about a meg or so ... - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
